AEW announces two-night Boston return

Posted on by Joseph Currier

AEW has added two nights in Boston to its summer 2026 schedule.

The promotion announced today that it will be holding events at Boston’s MGM Music Hall on Wednesday, July 15 and Thursday, July 16. The first night is a live Dynamite episode, while the second is a Collision taping. Tickets are going on sale to the general public next Monday (May 11).

MGM Music Hall is located in the Fenway Park area and has a listed capacity of approximately 5,000 before production configuration is factored in. AEW first debuted at the venue in April 2025, when MGM Music Hall hosted that year’s Spring BreakThru editions of Dynamite and Collision. The concert hall was one of the venues AEW found last year as it was focusing on unique places to hold TV events.

Other AEW shows in Boston have taken place at Agganis Arena and TD Garden, with Agganis Arena most recently hosting Dynamite/Collision in November 2025.

Along with these two shows, AEW has announced that the Rio Rancho Events Center in Rio Rancho, New Mexico will host Dynamite/Collision on Wednesday, June 24. The ticket on-sale date for that show is this Friday (May 8).

AEW will be in North Charleston, South Carolina for Dynamite this Wednesday. The promotion then heads to Palm Beach Gardens, Florida this Saturday for a special Fairway to Hell episode of Collision. After that, there are only a couple of weeks left before Double or Nothing 2026 is held in New York City on May 24.

AEW returning to Boston this April for back-to-back events

Posted on by Joseph Currier

AEW is returning to Boston this April for a live Dynamite episode and Collision taping.

Dynamite will take place live from MGM Music Hall in Boston on Wednesday, April 16. AEW will then be back at the same venue the next night (Thursday, April 17) for a Collision taping. MGM Music Hall is a concert venue located next to Fenway Park and has a listed capacity of 5,009 before production configuration.

A ticket pre-sale will begin this Thursday (February 20) at 10 a.m. Eastern time.

If the Collision episode airs in its regular Saturday time slot that week, it will be going up against the first night of WWE WrestleMania 41.

This is AEW’s first time back in Boston since TD Garden hosted the Big Business edition of Dynamite in March 2024, which featured hometown star Mercedes Mone making her AEW debut. TD Garden previously hosted Dynamite Blood & Guts in July 2023. Prior to that, AEW’s Boston shows were held at Agganis Arena.

Boston to host March 13 episode of AEW Dynamite

A new AEW show announcement may have confirmed the signing of a major free agent.

Ticketmaster lists that the Wednesday, March 13 episode of AEW Dynamite will take place live from TD Garden in Boston. That week’s AEW Rampage episode is also being taped at TD Garden after Dynamite on March 13.

Tony Khan’s “big announcement” on Dynamite tonight may have something to do with this Boston Dynamite event. It’s been speculated that this will be where Mercedes Mone, the former Sasha Banks, makes her AEW debut. Boston is billed as Mone’s hometown.

Mone has been out of action since May 2023 due to an ankle injury. At AEW All In last August, she was shown sitting in the crowd at Wembley Stadium.

It was reported in December that Mone and WWE were no longer in talks regarding Mone returning to WWE. AEW has been considered the favorite to sign her.

Tickets for the March 13 Dynamite are going on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Eastern time this Saturday (February 10). This will be the second AEW show to ever be held at TD Garden. The first took place in July 2023 and was that year’s Blood & Guts edition of Dynamite. Before that, AEW ran the smaller Agganis Arena for its Boston events.

AEW Dynamite date in Boston moving to October 27

Posted on by Josh Nason

AEW announced Monday that the Wednesday, September 8, Dynamite in Boston, Massachusetts is being moved to Wednesday, October 27.

No reason was given for the schedule change. Originally purchased tickets for the Agganis Arena show will still be valid while refunds are being offered.

This is the third time the Boston date has moved during the pandemic as April 15 and then August 5 were originally announced.

The show was to be the follow-up for All Out and part of a five-week run in the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic that includes the Queens, NY, stadium show; Newark, NJ; Rochester, NY; and Philadelphia, PA. 

With AEW starting back on the road on July 7th, that leaves August 4, September 1, and September 8 as the only Wednesday dates through October 6th that have yet to be announced.

AEW debuted in Boston in October 2019 for its second-ever Dynamite which featured Private Party defeating the Young Bucks in the Tag Team Title tournament and Kenny Omega vs. Joey Janela in an unsanctioned match that was taped for Dark.
